Sayso
Privacy Policy
Sayso records people talking, which is about as personal as data gets. This explains, plainly, what we keep, who else touches it, and how to have it removed. It is written for both the people who send Asks and the people who answer them.
Effective 2 September 2026
Who we are
Sayso is provided by [DANK Studio legal entity], [address]. We are the data controller for account holders. For the answers people give to an Ask, the account holder who sent it is the controller and we process that data on their behalf.
If you have an account
We keep your email address, your name if you give one, and a hashed password. We keep the Asks you write and the links you create, including the label and email address you attach to each one. If you subscribe, Paddle keeps your payment details and we keep only their reference for your subscription and its status. If you send feedback from the dashboard, we keep the message together with the page you were on, your browser and window size, and a reference to any error that had just occurred.
If you are answering an Ask
You do not have an account and we do not ask you to make one. We keep the name and role you type in, every answer you give — typed text, links, and audio recordings — the transcripts and summaries we produce from the recordings, and which publication permissions you ticked. If you answer the optional “how was that?” at the end, we keep that too. Recordings are saved to your own device first and uploaded from there; a copy may remain in your browser’s storage until it is cleared.
Everything you give is visible to the person who sent you the Ask. It is their responsibility to tell you why they are collecting it and what they will do with it. Sayso asks you, separately, what they may publish, and shows them what you did not agree to.
If you join the waitlist
We keep your email address, your name and anything you write about what you would use Sayso for, and which page you signed up from. We do not send a newsletter. You hear from us when there is a place, and you can ask to be removed at any time.
Who else processes it
We use a small number of services, each for one job, and each bound by its own data processing terms:
- Supabase — the database and the storage for recordings. Also handles sign-in.
- OpenAI — transcribes recordings and writes summaries. Audio and transcripts are sent to OpenAI for that purpose only; OpenAI does not train on data sent through its API.
- Paddle — takes payment, as merchant of record. Sees your email and payment details; we do not.
- Resend — sends the emails: invitations to answer an Ask, password resets, and notices to us.
- Sentry — records errors so we can fix them. Respondent links are stripped from reports before they are sent.
- Netlify — hosts the site.
We do not sell personal data, and we do not use recordings, transcripts or Asks to train models.
How long we keep it
For as long as the account that collected it exists. When an account holder deletes their account, their Asks, links, answers and every recording are deleted with it. If you answered an Ask and want your answers removed sooner, ask the person who sent it, or write to us and we will help.
Lawful basis
For account holders: performance of a contract. For people answering an Ask: the account holder’s lawful basis, which is usually the consent you give by choosing to answer — and, separately, the explicit permissions you tick or leave unticked for publication. For the waitlist: your consent when you sign up.
Your rights
You can ask for a copy of what we hold about you, ask for it to be corrected or deleted, and object to or restrict how it is used. Account holders can do most of this from the settings page. For anything else, email us and we will respond within a month. If you are in the UK or EU you can also complain to your data protection authority.
Cookies
One, to keep you signed in, if you have an account. Nothing for advertising and no third-party analytics.
Changes and contact
If this policy changes in a way that affects you we will email account holders before it applies. Questions or requests: hello@dankstudio.net.
